Hi Thanks once again for your help, I do appreciate it..... however.... Here is what I get with your test.... (under tcsh - i normally use bash, but I will keep everything the same) users/mwatson> env http_proxy=http://wwwcache.bbsrc.ac.uk:8080/ R >options(internet.info=0) >update.packages() trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES' unable to connect to

Hi All, I have been trying to solve the issue of Xen-based Virtual Machines (as I described earlier); I have the problem of ethernet ports locked to a single Mac address in my lab--hence VM''s can''t communicate using bridging other than their own dom0. To further test/confirm, yesterday I took my laptop at home and connected to my Home-Hub (which issues DHCP based IPs); I

I would like to use the getBioC.R script from http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R to install the biobase packages. Unfortunately, url() and download.file() die when trying to talk to my proxy: > getBioC("exprs") connect: Cannot assign requested address unable to connect to 'gproxy1.pfizer.com'. connect: Cannot assign requested address unable to connect to

OK, I really am struggling with this one! Forgive me if I am being stupid.... I am running R 1.7.1 on Suse Linux 8.1. I connect to the internet through a proxy so I have: IAHC-LINUX03:~ # echo $http_proxy wwwcache.bbsrc.ac.uk:8080 IAHC-LINUX03:~ # echo $HTTP_PROXY wwwcache.bbsrc.ac.uk:8080 just in case ;-) SO, i go into R and I get: >

Hi, I've just installed a server with CentOS 4. This server is behind a proxy. I'm trying to import the RPM key. Already set http_proxy variable to: export "http_proxy"=http://proxy.xpto.com:3128 Truth is, command # rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-4 just leaves me hanged. Any ideas ? Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito

I am having a peculiar problem with installation of packages. I am trying to install the package "maptools". This is what I get. install.packages("maptools",depend=T) Warning in install.packages("maptools", depend = T) : argument 'lib' is missing: using /usr/local/lib/R/site-library Warning: unable to access index for repository

Just installed R on a new machine which is on a server. I am trying to download packages but seem to have trouble with our proxy settings. I have read the 2.19 section in R for Windows and tried what was suggested (setting http_proxy) but that did not help (still cannot connect). I think my problem is that we do not have a fixed port but use instead autoproxy. Has anyone encountered this problem

I was trying to install R on a unix server. Because of a firewall i can't install biocLite for working with Bioconductor. With windows it wasn't a problem. I used the option '--internet2' to bypass the firewall. I don't have any idea, how to do it with unix. I tried to set my proxy >Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http...:8080")

Hello everyone, I run R on Gentoo Linux and this week I upgraded R from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0. With the new build, I have stumbled upon an unpleasant problem: I can no longer install packages from CRAN through a transparent proxy. With the previous version, I simply added to /usr/lib/R/etc/Renviron the following line and it functioned like a charm: ## Proxy settings http_proxy="SERVER:3128"

Hello all, How can I configure yum to download updates when I need to authenticate to a Microsoft Forefront proxy?? I have tried to configure http_proxy variable as a "http_proxy="http://DOMAIN\\user:passwd at proxy:port/", but it doesn't works ... I have tried to set http_user and http_passwd also without luck.

Hi all, my uni has recently switched to using a proxy (with password) for accessing Web pages outside the uni. I have since found that "update packages" etc no longer seem to work from R. I have tried to fix this problem in two ways:- 1) renaming internet2.dll to internet.dll in the "Modeules" folder and proceeding as usual. When I tried "update packages" from the

Hi, It seems that the new update system does not consider the proxy option set yum.conf. After installing centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm together with the new yum packages, I was no longer able to use yum. In my case HTTP access is allowed only through a proxy. The proxy URL is configured in yum.conf. If I set the environment variable http_proxy from the shell I start yum, everything

Hi, I am trying to use R at work and at home on the same computer. At work, I have a proxy, and at home, I do not. I have, for work, a User environment variable "http_proxy" which I set in the OS (Windows XP Pro). When I am at work, and I try to retrieve data from the web with 'read.csv', things work just fine. I assume it knows how to use the proxy. The trouble is when I

Hello, I am using R version 1.8.1 on a linux machine (Suse 8.2.). I have problems to use readLines() with urls. This seems to be a problem with our proxy-server.
